I was looking for a slash 4x4 but when I saw this I need it

[@FivoNine]

Slash is not too bad, i recently got one, but senton is definitely a basher and good at the track 😊

[@paktoysreview8377]

i love this clip

[@tiborvon]

👍👍

[@Jamesmoore-mj5ke]

How about raising the body body magnets mounts rais the body 1inch or so will that work for the granete.

[@FivoNine]

Unfortuntely the body mounts do not adjust on the senton 😒 Wish they did

[@devynriley8307]

My ammra sentons rod Enders keep breaking any upgrade suggestions?

[@FivoNine]

Sorry not really sure, never had issues with mine

[@jasonjr2500]

Mine lags off the start like it takes it a second to move and like it dont enable soon as you hit the throttle. Does anyone elses do this?

[@FivoNine]

yup most arrma's do that

[@imserious2187]

Where did you get the 15t pinion??

[@FivoNine]

you can get it at arrma website or local hobbyshop

[@FalcoINC]

Im trying to decide on a V5 Kraton or Typhon in 6s. Your 3s Senton looks pretty quick though. Im worried the Typhon may not handle the thicker grass I have around me. The Kraton will kill it no problem but wont handle as nice on the pavement. I have the same type of lush grass you drive on in this video. I only steered away from the Senton because they dont offer a new 6s right now. Maybe the Typhon with a tire upgrade like you did would be the best of both worlds

[@FivoNine]

I've seen guys run the typhon with big tires and looks and runs awesome, but the Kraton does look nice😊 tough choice 😊

[@strawberrymochiiz]

It really looks good with the wheels.

[@twrecks116]

That is a Ripper!! Hard to believe, its Geared Down?! Gonna give this another look! 👍🙂

[@FivoNine]

Yup it definitely rips! It's geared down but with bigger tires the gear ratio stays the same 😊

[@marclar316]

What’s the best pinion with those tires ? Did you play with different ratios ?

[@MrGsxr10001]

Cool truck, lose the music man it makes it hard to hear ya...

[@FivoNine]

Thank you, sorry man 👍

[@BrickKLStudios]

can i put 17mm hex tire on senton? 170mm tire.

[@FivoNine]

You can do it but would need some work. The stock hex is 14mm so you would need to convert it to 17mm. The tires I had were 130mm and it needed some body trim so with 170mm you would need to trim the body even more 😁 and with bigger tires you would need to change the gearing also

[@dianemcguire2622]

Do you have to change anything on the senton to put the granite tires on it

[@FivoNine]

Maybe just gear down a few teeth on pinion gear so the esc and motor dont stress

[@009ADVENTURES]

nice upgrades bud, mine getting granite wheels soon, the seem much better. bet it runs better with that giro? nice one 😀👍

[@FivoNine]

Thanks, tires a definitely nice, only downside is cutting the body. The gyro definitely helps with going in a straight line on bumpy roads 😊

[@BoyFindsTako]

The set up you have isn’t common. But it’s actually a pretty sick set up. Because it’s the Senton, you get a bigger fuller body which makes it look almost as big as the Kraton but weighs way way less and rips! I had the granite, ran my suspension to were it would sit way lower to the ground. Almost negative, but setting it up like this give you way better handling. The Senton and Granite are so much lighter than the other Arrma trucks and have that zippy characteristic. Your Senton has a sick set up man. I favor the 1/10 scale because of how it performs overall compared to these newer bigger heavy Arrma’s out there.

[@FivoNine]

Thank you man 😁👍

[@jrg4726]

What happens if i keep the stock pinion and put on the tires

[@FivoNine]

The motor and esc might just get too hot from to much load but I've ran it before like that 😁

[@BomberKicks]

I'm loving the "No fucks given cut job" I do the same style for my bashers.

[@vanemmenvalley]

Nice Setup😊

[@propgear123]

Hey bro cool vid man upgrades look sick. Not got one of these yet but it has grabbed my attention just for the amount of abuse it seems to take and does not break. Always liked cars but they always seem to break very easy so my cash went on other crap that still broke easy 🤣🤣🤣🙈 love it all man tbh. In this price range is this the one to get? I see so many it is hard to choose but this one keeps grabbing me. I have servos and my own radio gear so no drama their 😎 new supporter here bro 👊

[@FivoNine]

Thanks bro for the support. I think for the price range, power, and durability this truck seems to be one of the best ones. Im sure there are other trucks who can compare but for me i love this truck. 😀

Hey bro with adding the granite wheels and cutting a bit of shell is that all that is needed for a monster senton? Do you need to change the pinion or anything? Going to get one in a week odd man haha so buzzing local hobby shop has got them in stock 🙏🙏 do you know what part is seizing is it the bearings when getting wet? I have heard of a traxxas part upgrade but not sure what it is do you know what part please bud?

[@daymonpancheri9700]

I don’t understand why dudes are putting the Granite tires on a Senton? Why not just buy a Granite if you want it to look like one? I mean the Granite BLX is basically the same🤔

[@FivoNine]

The chassis is shorter on the Granite and some people like the look of a short course truck 😊

[@joshuavantongeren1734]

yo man i been looking for my first rc and saw your vid about this one can you reconmend iT? for bashing

[@FivoNine]

Yes its a pretty good truck for bashing. Check out Arrma Vorteks, I hear they are good for bashing, just got one myself but haven't tried it yet 😁

[@eddiegriffin6467]

Hows it going I bought my 1st rc truck and I messed up one of the tires AMD now I'm having a hard time find tires for the senton 3s . What other tires can u reccomend for me to use

[@FivoNine]

With the big tires you can get the arrma granite tires, with the stock size tires I found some cheap and fairly good tires on amazon, currently running the GoolRC tires. Proline also has some good tires.

[@BoyFindsTako]

What other pinion sizes have you tried? In the video if that’s a 15 tooth pinion, that’s pretty impressive.

[@FivoNine]

Just 20T and 15T

[@TRLC]

Nice video! Cant wait to get mine out i just got one 2 weeks ago but went in to hospital for a planned surgery and have stayed there for 10 days. And right now im waiting for better weather here in Sweden its more early october than november weather right now with rain.

[@b8nducciify]

I know I'm late to this, but are there any bodies you can swap out instead of cutting the stock one? I'm thinking two bodies basically you get two cars. Senton and monster senton

Hi F/nine, A great video and well presented, I have the green version and very impressed on how your mods have changed the entire concept of the Rc car. Would you share any information about your hand controller, I would like to purchase the same as the ‘gyro’ makes a huge amount of sense ! Keep up the good work ! Len

[@FivoNine]

Thank you😊 the controller definitely makes a nice difference on loose surface, I have the link in the description above, it's called DumboRC X6 with X6FG reciever. Very easy to install and use.

[@captainjaxx3728]

Awesome looking senton,,,, I’m actually gonna monster my senton also,,, my question is ,,, if go to a 15t pinion,,, do I have to change my spur gear also,,, thanks

[@FivoNine]

Thanks, it's definitely better with those tires

[@ertcanlas9390]

Is it necessary to also change the pinion from 20t to 15t when going for bigger tires?

[@FivoNine]

Yes and no 😊 If you do it, it will be easier on your esc and motor. With 20t it's fine if your not on full throttle for more then couple seconds, then the esc cuts out.

[@ertcanlas9390]

@@FivoNine thanks!

[@Shaz-dn3hs]

Hi, great video. How is the senton car holding up since the changes?

[@FivoNine]

I sold it to a friend but it ran great with this setup

[@joshkoerner7024]

If I cut the aero slits out on the front and back would it affect handling and if so how?

[@FivoNine]

Havent tried it but was planning to do it too since with the bigger tires and going full speed the truck would go airbourne from catching air inside the shell. The slits i assume would help the truck stay on the ground and maybe help cornering at high speeds.

[@joshkoerner7024]

[@randomstuffno1caresabout3]

The hexes are 14?? I thought they were 12mm

[@FivoNine]

Yes they are 14mm, not sure why arrma went with it since most wheels i find are 12mm.

[@randomstuffno1caresabout3]

Hmmm I was looking online and you can just buy the arrma rims and then buy say proline tires seperately so you dont hav to worry about mixing up the hex size Im looking at buying a sct and its between the slash and the 3s senton which do u think i should get

[@FivoNine]

@@randomstuffno1caresabout3 Yea that would work. Honestly both trucks are great, I can't say which one is better than the other. Both trucks do feel different driving, I feel like slash is more track ready, feels smoother while the Senton is more setup for bashing. Guess just depends what kind of riding you planning to do. I got the Senton because I usually hit bigger jumps and like Bashing. Hope that helps 😊

[@ismoketobacco]

Typhon 3s granite or senton?? I just do normal light bashing and stuff but enjoy the wheelies also

[@FivoNine]

@@ismoketobacco This is just my opinion but I would probably go with granite. The Senton won't do wheelies stock unless you get bigger wheels.

[@moblackmoney3424]

Nice video bro.. I have the arrma Big rock and it's also on a 15t pinion.. Is there a specific reason why you took out the 20t pinion and ran a 15t instead? Did you lose speed when you did this?

[@FivoNine]

That was to keep the gear ration the same, the speed should be around the same. You can keep the 20t and it would gain top speed but off the line it might be hard on the speed control.
